Fashion for Japan: How tsunami and earthquake relief efforts are so in Vogue

Anna Sui, Tory Burch and Opening Ceremony are among the labels to have designed fund-raising products for the cause...

Relief efforts have been in overdrive since the earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit the north-east coast of Japan two weeks ago.

And in that short time, countless fashion labels have put their talents to good use, designing products and launching charity initiatives in aid of the cause.

From T-shirts to tote bags, a range of affordable and stylish items have been created to help benefit the victims of the Japanese disaster.

Call for action: This t-shirt by Opening Ceremony ($30) is an example of how fashion designers are clubbing together to help raise funds for the Japanese tsunami relief, 100 percent of this piece goes to the Red Cross

Designer T-shirts for charity have always been in Vogue so it comes
as no surprise that a string of labels have released Japan inspired
designs.

She tweeted: 'I Designed a Japan Prayer Bracelet. Buy It/Donate here and ALL proceeds
will go to Tsunami Relief Efforts. Go Monsters.'

Independent jewellery companies have also been launching exclusive pieces online.

Jewelry for a Cause's Blue Wave Talismans necklace, which donates a percentage from each sale towards the relief effort, was even worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife Maria Shriver when she met Michelle Obama.
